    Please don’t…

    Can we organize and force the Linux Foundation and/or OFAC to exclude open source software from these sanctions? Is anyone doing that yet?

      What would be the point of the sanctions then? If the Linux Foundation were against it they could move the infrastructure to an other jurisdiction which does not sanctize countries, that would carry a strong message. But if they refuse to do that, what’s wrong with others’ forking it and doing it? That’s the point of opensource.

      Americans should vote for Trump, he’s the best chance to overturn these ludicrous sanctions.

        I get where you’re coming from… but no. Forking linux is way less dangerous for the world than Trump in the White House.
